Large reservoirs: are they the last Oasis for the survival of cities in India?
No full textUrban water demand is rapidly growing in India due to high growth in urban population and rapid industrialization. Meeting this growing demand is a big challenge for the urban planners in India. Incidentally, urban areas in arid and semi arid regions of India are experiencing rapid growth. As a result, the supplies from local water resources including aquifers are far less than the high and concentrated water demands in most urban areas. Under such situations, the cities have to rely on large reservoirs. The paper argues that urban growth would be jeopardized in absence of water supplies from large reservoirs. The analysis of 302 urban centres shows that as population of cities grow, their reliance on surface water sources also grows. Also, greater the share of surface water in the city water supplies, better the level of water supply. A multiple regression analysis of 190 class I cities and 240 class II towns further supports this finding. In Class I cities, with every unit increase in population, there is a 1.12 unit increase in quantum of water supplies. Whereas in Class II towns, with every increase in population, there is only a 0.40 unit increase in quantum of water supply. This shows greater capacities of large cities to respond to the growing water demands, induced by population growth and urbanization. The future projections of population growth, economic development and future water demands clearly means that the role of large reservoirs in meeting the demand of urban water supply is going to be more critical.urban water supply; large reservoirs; urbanization; population growth; India.

Ptilona conformis Zia 1965
No full textPtilona conformis Zia, 1965 (Fig. 15–19) Material examined. 3 ♂, INDIA: Meghalaya, Barapani, 28.viii. 2011, Coll. Shakti K. Singh, NPIB (NPC). Comments. Ptilona conformis was described from southern China by Zia (1965). It was removed from synonymy of P. persimilis Hendel and recorded from China, Thailand, Laos, West Malaysia and Brunei by Hancock (2011). The present found is the first record of this species from, Meghalaya, India. P. confinis (Walker) with widespread distribution in India is the only other species of Ptilona recorded from this country. Ptilona conformis resembles P. d ol o ro s a Hering (Hancock, 2011), but differs from it and all related species in having the hyaline indentation at base of stigma confined to cell r 1 or only very narrowly crossing vein R 2 + 3 (Hancock, 2011; Hancock, 2012), not extending almost or entirely across cell r 2 + 3. In addition, P. do l o ro s a has the hyaline spot in cell m more evenly rounded.Published as part of Singh, Shakti Kumar, David, K. J., Kumar, Dinesh & Ramamurthy, V.

Ectopomyia baculigera Hardy 1973
No full textEctopomyia baculigera Hardy, 1973 (Figs. 10–14) Material examined. 4 ♂ and 3 ♀, INDIA: Kerala, Silent Valley, 04.iv. 2012, Coll. Shakti K. Singh, NPIB (NPC). Comments. Ectopomyia baculigera was described from Laos by Hardy (1973) and recorded from Laos and southern China by Hancock (2014). Both E. baculigera and genus Ectopomyia are recorded for the first time from Kerala, India. Adults are pale yellow; scutum with 2 lateral black longitudinal vittae; wing predominantly brown with hyaline marginal spots and indentations, cell c with a brown quadrate spot. The sexes are dimorphic in wing pattern and males have a large ventral appendage on the fore femur (Hardy, 1973). E. baculigera differs from E. hancocki Chua, which is the only other described species of this genus and distributed in West Malaysia, in wing pattern and anepisternum characters (Chua, 2009; Hancock, 2014).Published as part of Singh, Shakti Kumar, David, K.
